I'd be interested to know how long it takes them to land a 20 inch fish on 10x.

Mark, that is funny as crap dude. I am not attempting to tie 32s yet. Gene, I agree 100% with the friction point. I slip just the tip outside of the band to deter the friction. There is enough pressure to stop tippet from falling off, but prevents the friction. Challenge excepted on the 10-20-30 club. I'll keep you posted. We will also have to revisit this whenever my book of "Guide flies" comes. See what small patterns the guides got under their thumb.

Dave Breitmeier and a few other guys who guide/fish the Elk have a "10-20-30" club.  I think it's 20 inch fish, size 30, 10x tippet.  It's kind of stupid because once you get below 8x, the diameter doesn't decrease by equal increments as you go to 9 or 10 like they do at the larger end of the scale, but it's still kind of crazy. 

With all that stuff 6x and below I learned the hard way that you really don't want to pull it off the spool through that rubber guard thing!  The friction kinks that stuff like crazy.  I just trap it with the guard, and let it unwind normally and it works a lot better.  8x is nearly impossible otherwise.

32s? Man, you younger guys better get to it tying them and quick because before you know it you'll need, like this old git, the Hubble telescope to see WTF you're doing. ;-)
